When painting outdoor cement, it is imperative that you use a product specifically made for cement or the paint will peel and chip within a short period of time. I have had great success with H&C Acrylic Concrete Stain. It comes in many colors and can be purchased at most hardware, paint or home improvement stores. It is very important, however, that you prepare the cement properly before staining. If you are staining an object such as a statue or flower pot, you should wash it first with a detergent solution and rinse thoroughly. It must be completely dry before staining. If you are staining a flat concrete surface such as a porch or patio, you must "etch" the concrete before staining. Etching means washing the concrete with muriatic acid. Muriatic acid is also available at most hardware and home improvement stores. Just follow the directions on the container. I used a wide broom to scrub the concrete with the acid and it worked great. Then, you must rinse thoroughly - a power washer is best, but a regular hose will work. Once the concrete is completely dry, you may begin staining. The stain is about the same thickness and consistency as paint, and it can be applied with brushes or rollers.

With all due repect to previous answer, that's overkill. Two coats of interior satin or semi-gloss is sufficient. Satin at minimum because the shimmer allows for easy cleanup which is important in the kitchen. Don't spend too much on the paint, no matter what anyone says, their all about the same. You should definitely start with an outdoor paint, or an indoor/outdoor paint. Then make sure to use a water sealer on top and allow it to dry fully before it is exposed to the elements.
